Definitions
- the locking element 170 nests within the stop notch 173 as discussed above. Furthermore, when the dispenser 150 is in the extended state, the distal portion 157 of the dispenser 150 protrudes from and through the opening 120 . As discussed above, the distal portion 157 of the dispenser 150 includes the applicator 152 and the dispensing orifice 156 . Thus, in the extended state the dispensing orifice 156 of the dispenser 150 protrudes through the opening 120 and is accessible to a user so that the user can apply the oral care material contained within the dispenser 150 to the user's teeth and other oral surfaces using the dispensing techniques described herein above and others.
- the distal portions 257 , 357 of the first and second dispensers 250 , 350 may contact the toothbrush cap 240 (if the toothbrush cap 240 has not previously been opened to expose the opening 220 ). In such embodiments, the force of the first and second dispensers 250 , 350 bumping against the toothbrush cap 240 may cause the toothbrush cap 240 to open automatically.
